Marietta Hurst makes second 3-year gift to Language Sciences

October 4, 2018

Marietta Hurst (BA’57, MA’82), the visionary lead donor whose support in 2015 helped make UBC Language Sciences and the Living Language: Science and Society course a reality, has generously provided additional seed funding that will allow us to continue and grow the Language Sciences over the next three years. We are grateful for Ms. Hurst’s philanthropic and leadership support.

The UBC Language Sciences Initiative aims to foster interdisciplinary research collaborations that deepen our understanding of how language shapes our individual and collective human experience. With your help the program will continue to grow and be made permanent. To make a gift to the Vision for the Language Sciences Fund, please visit http://support.ubc.ca/language-sciences.
